Dear partners, I share with you the 15 benefits of discussion that I think are summarized in the video.
1. Helps students to explore a variety of perspectives.

3. Helps students recognize and investigate their assumptions.
4. Encourages attentive and respectful listening.
5. Develop a new appreciation for continuing differences.
6. Increases intellectual agility.
7. Helps to students connect with a topic.
8. Demonstrates respect for the voices and experiences of students.
9. Helps students learn the processes and habits of democratic discourse.
10. Students declared co-creators of knowledge.
11. Develops the capacity for clear communication of ideas and meaning.
12. Develop habits of learning together.

The debate is a prime tool for the development of critical thinking. The student must propose a position, must provide arguments and counterarguments. A good debate requires research, finding evidence and objective assessment. So the preparation for the debate impacts on the development of thinking skills: to assess the strengths and weaknesses of own argument, imagine possible objections and develop appropriate responses, developing a presentation strategy, selecting powerful examples. Even a major exercise of empathy: placed in the place of another, investigate or imagine the arguments of his position, think about public attitudes to both sides and more.
As we have seen, discussions in the group are important working tool for learning. Serve to promote group interaction as a tool to motivate and as a means to end an activity. The quality of the group discussion will be dependent on the people who are chosen to participate. If you choose the wrong people, you will get the wrong results.
